Signs of spring

[laylalawlor]

I noticed driving to work today that the trees on south-facing hillsides are breaking out in their first, faint flush of green. I want to say to them, "No, little trees! It's Fairbanks! It's only May 4th! It'll be snowing by the end of the week! Your poor wee buds will freeze!" But they won't listen. Trees. Can't tell 'em anything

Summer for a day

[magaly_guerrero]

I was in Canada last weekend, visiting my boyfriend. It was 80 degrees! We went canoeing and I was mad because I didn't bring a bikini top.

It was nice to see summer in the spring, but scary too. I think see what’s happening to the planet and I think about my own body. For when my body temperature changes so unexpectedly, it rarely means anything good. I just hope that the same isn't true for our planet...

Enough doom! I'm glad you had a great weekend and that your driveway still visible :) Take pictures if you go to see the lake that shouldn't be there.

Oh, I read "Keeping Up With The Joneses" and I'm with Fred. I don't believe in hunting for 'fun', but if I hit a dragon by chance, it will definitely go on my wall!

The floodwaters all went down -- it was actually just about back to normal on our end of town when I drove home. Which is good news for everyone who lives in the flooded areas, of course, if not for my occasional voyeuristic tendencies. :D

Hee! :D I wrote that story in my head while driving across the country by myself; there were lots of long lonely stretches of road, and the idea of accidentally hitting an animal was much on my mind. But I didn't hit anything, supernatural or otherwise ...
